Palestinian Authority demands "urgent international action" in response to Israel's "crimes" in the West Bank
The Palestinian Authority has called for urgent international action against Israel's actions in the West Bank, particularly regarding forced displacements in Hebron following a deadly attack on Israeli soldiers. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry emphasized the need for concrete measures beyond mere condemnation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at a significant surprise for the Palestinian Authority after ordering a large-scale military operation in response to the attack. He refrained from commenting on the potential dismantling of the Palestinian Authority, which was established in the 1990s and continues to be the official representative of the international community despite Hamas's control in Gaza. Netanyahu and his main electoral opponent oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state.
